Today

I feel yucky. Again. My time of the months break outs are back fighting again and i look like I got a fu**ing cold sore. I've poped the one near my lip like fifty million times today and it won't go the hell away.

Periods suck. They make me feel like everything i worked for was worthless.

Hey so I'm new on this site so I decided to comment on this..

Well my acne is not bad at all anymore .. I been using Clinique acne solution and taking bactrim once a day and my acne has finally calm down.. I have a lot of scars tho which make me feel like shit.. anyways my mom bought me cicatricure for acne scars 2 weeks ago n i havnt even open it lol

Today she told me ur face look way better u been using that stuff i bought u huh.. lol

I have so much going on in my life right now that acne n scars is not in my mind that much..

Good and bad. After a day in the sun, the stuff betwwen my eyeborws thats been forever is gone. GONE. Just some scars pigmentations to remind me (which are going away too). My cheek scars are looking bettter. I did get a fat little zit on the side of my cheek and one lil bump on my forehead. But theyll go away fast ,and the bad and hard stuff is gone. hallelujah. My bakc is sort of usnburnt tho. Pray prgress comes

i was feeling good until now acne; has presented itself just when my marks were fading and my skin was starting to look good.

ughh i hate it when this happens!

Well I just started using Clearsil and got oil free everything and acne mark reducer or whatever. I've been using it for about over a week and the stuff has made my chin break out really bad. Normally my chin isn't this horrible. I have scarring which is pretty evident but four new ones plopped their happy little asses on my face and they're red and enflamed and horrible looking.

Very disappointed, I'm young and spent my own hard earned money on this expensive product just for it to fuck up my face even more.

Just the other day I posted saying how good I was feeling about my acne, now it couldn't be a more different story

I'm feeling so low about it today. I took a picture of it this morning to compare it to some from a couple of weeks ago and it is definitely better, but being at home a lot this week and procrastinating from work, I've gone to the mirror a lot and picked SO much. My face is now scabby and sore and red. I'm currently a bit obsessed with blackheads. Probably because they're my main problem at the moment. It's just so stupid of me because blackheads aren't half as bad as pustules - they're barely visible for Christ sake! I should be thankful that I don't have as many whiteheads or pustules (I still have them, just not in the same quantity as before). Regardless, I can't stop searching for them and attacking them. Most have been successful extractions and have barely left a mark but several have gone wrong and left me with pussy scabs 🙁 as a result make up doesn't look as good as it did a few days ago, and my face hurts

I am so self destructive and I just want to cry

Feeling a bit fed up now really It's hard to work everyday in an environment where all your colleagues have perfect skin and you feel like the monster in the corner. Meh.

Depressed...

Sigh, I was feeling fine for a while but my skin has been really bad lately.

Some huge pus filled pimple (cyst?) popped up next to my mouth today. I guess it's going to leave an ugly mark.

Last week some huge thing (not even sure if it was acne) popped up right below my eye, on the "dark circle area". The scab fell off yesterday, and I REALLY REALLY hope it will heal. Else I'm stuck with a bump/scar in the worst possible place...

I hate waking up in the morning, looking at my face and knowing there will be new pimples.

There's going to be a big party tonight but I don't think I'll go. I just want to hide.

There was this mutual crush thing going on with a girl before summer, but I don't even want to see her now when she returns. I feel too ugly.

I know my acne isn't considered that severe, but it ruins my life.

The worst part is that my acne seems to heal a lot worse lately, leaving ugly marks/hyper pigmentation and scars.

Argh... it never seems to stop. This has ruined so many years of my life.

Depressed

Really good for once! The red marks are terrible but in terms of spots - they're all pretty much died down now! I for the first time ever in months have no proper ones. I'm excited but trying not to get my hopes up too much as I'm anticipating at least a small breakout from my awful diet this entire week. However, I'm out tonight so *touch wood* makeup goes alright and I'll get to be confident for once.

So depressed...

My skin was getting better these last few days, but now two small papules have appeared. I don't know why, since I never had those...

F*CK THIS!!!!!!!

my acne seems ok atm

I have been a bit more consistent with my regimen this week so my skin looks better then last week but I really need to stop being lazy and use (more) moisterizer

I am feeling completely shitty. I hate my skin today, or more, my picking habits (and the annoying bumps that don't go away no matter what!).

Skin is OK today - but I've come to the sad realisation after seeing pics on facebook (i fricking hate the tag feature!) that whether I have good or bad skin I am always going to be unconfident in myself and that kinda sucks. If it isn't my skin thats not behaving - it's my hair or just my face in general! argh. :/ but least if the regimen does work that'll be one flaw down.

I went to a gig last night, signed into Facebook today and saw that I'd been tagged in a few pictures. I was in the front row and the photographers seemed just as interested in taking pictures of the crowd as they did the band! So there are several pictures where I'm right in the middle of the frame and I look at them and think, 'Noooooo! I look horrible!'

My skin's not too bad at all really - the odd pimple, nothing at all to worry about - but I still can't stand looking at pictures of myself. I don't know what it is though. It's like I look at everyone else in the pictures and think, 'They look normal, there's nothing about them one way or the other, they just look like ordinary people', but then I look at myself in the very same image and think, 'Ewww! Look at that!'

The pictures aren't especially flattering as they're mid-gig so maybe I'm singing along or something. In a picture, those kind of action shots make you look a bit silly, but there's nothing more than that. It's all in my mind really and I never seem to be able to get over it. In my mind, at the time, I feel like the odd one out. I look at pictures and think that I look like the odd one out, too. Strange.

Sometimes I just wish I had a terminal disease instead of this...

What really kills me is the fact that I have no power over acne. I can't control it, I just can pray for it to go away e not come back. Of course I take care of my skin, but sometimes it seems useless. Any other problem that I have/ever had in my life I would just go I do something about it:

- I need money? - I find a job

- I like a girl? - I let her know and fight for her

- I want to go to a good college? - I study my ass off

- I want to become more confident? - I join a gym and try to change my mind

- I have acne? - I suffer until the end of time

- I have acne? - I suffer until the end of time

Sure feels like that especially on the really bad days. I had microdermabrasion done about a week ago and was super happy with the results. Then I looked in the mirror while washing my face today and noticed a break out on my chin. And I usually don't get break outs - just clogged pores. But you know, it's like my skin knew I was feeling good about myself.

My scars and stuff are fading and I look GREAT. But when I thought some bumps were deflating, they presented themselves. Theyre skin colored and some what small. My skins a little dry due to swimming in the lake and the sun. But I feel great.

My face is being stupid again. I'm breaking out again. I guess I'm starting college with the same ugly face I ended High School with

Have some faith, dude. It WILL get better.

Im a little shifty today. I have some tiny bumps (from yesterday) not noticeable things at all.

But, I am completely out of Erythromycin.....ugh, shit. I need to get my prescription fasttttttttttttttttt.

I had a few day period where it seemed like my acne was getting better but then I broke out in like 4 or 5 big pustules on my chin and the rest of my skin is red or flaky from the Retin A. Blarg. Got to try cutting down on the Retin A to once every other day now and see what happens.

Looked in the mirror and suddenly my breakout from four or five days ago has pretty much vanished as if it were never there. Always worries me when that happens, makes me wonder if it's trying to trap me into a false sense of security before it all goes crazy again...

My skin is alright.. ish.

I've only got one live pimple, which is getting smaller.

But I'm getting lots of tiny annoying bumps on my nose which

you can only see when the sun is on my face but I'm still conscious. :/

I've had that feeling before. I'll notice a big, hilly, underground pimple in the afternoon that looks like it will certainly get worse. Then the next morning, it's almost gone. It's like 'what are you planning skin? what are you up to?' I'm sure mine is scheming to go crazy during the weekend.
